Editing Process

After a succesfull film over the weekend. Im now in the process of editing my media.

Having imported my clips, I was then ready to start editing my video.

Looking at my clips I realised that the were to fast so I decided to slow them down.

 Using the clip speed/ duration I achieved this.

I Changed it from 100 to 80 

 

Here is a few shots of me changing around some of the transitions and effects

Filming Again

Im due to film tomorrow at 3.10pm! Everything is ready and set to go.

Filming

Due to sound cloud not working our filming was pretty much ruined. I had prepared everything but had no track to play against to make sure the timing of the lip syncing was perfect it seemed a waste to just leave it so we decided to record Kim singing on her phone and she sang along to that instead. We've now arranged to film again on the next Sunday. This problem has still be able to teach me different camera angles and given me a better idea of what I want the final product to look like. Looking back at the footage Ive also learnt that I need to get Kim to engage more in the camera, knowing sometimes this may be a bit daunting I need to make her feel more comfortable when filming.  

Here are a few shots I created. 

R AND P - Preparing for filming

Due to kim being ill on the saturday I was supposed to film I have now had to move to rearrange the date to during the next week.

R AND P - Olly Murs 'Busy' Behind the Scenes- One of Corrin Hardys

I love the old sort of look in this video. The attention to detail is one of Corrin Hardys most important features and I intend to achieve this within my music video. 

R AND P - Media conference December 14th

Nearing the end of the term, we travelled to London to a media conference held by Media Magazine. Pete Fraser was there to give us a lecture on the sort of things to include into our blogs and how to achieve a good grade in media. 
We also got to listen to Corrin Hardy who has directed and produced music videos for some big artists including Olly Murs, Keane and The Prodigy looking at his work has inspired me to really add detail 
into my music video and how important mise-en-scene actually is.

R AND P - Main Types of Music Video

I have found that there are 3 main types of music videos: Narrative based, Performance based and Concept based.

Narrative based music videos have a storyline or plot, and tend to follow that storyline throughout the whole of the video.Such as Lionel Richie 'Hello' .However we do see shots of the band performing the main focus is on the storyline. 

Performance based videos tend to show the band or artists mostly performing there song, possibly at a gig or in a studio setting. Music videos that use this type are Green Day's "American Idiot" and Adele ''Someone like you'.

American Idiot, consists of loads of quick shots of singing, close up of the instruments and wow shots of the american flag and band members being covered in green paint. This type of music video is completed centred around the artist, a good way to introduce/advertise them into the music world with there first single.   

Concept based music videos tend to have no storyline, they are generally a random concept and sometimes tends to not tie in with the band or theme of the song at all. A video that is concept based is OK GO's "Here It Goes Again".

This video is simply 8 treadmills one shot no camera movement and a whole lot of time put into rehearsing the moves. There was not editing involved. Its a fun, captivating way to attract a wider audience.
